Heritage Grains

For a full year I documented the craftsmanship Hayden Flour Mills uses to grow and minimally process their ancient heritage grain varietals for the retail market and restaurant industry. Initially I contracted with American Way (in-flight magazine for American Airlines) to produce a photo essay for a story they published. After completing that story assignment I continued following Hayden Flour Mills’ processes from dirt to dish, including the growth of the wheat, harvesting, processing and packaging, and the carious ways their grains are used in food products such as pastas, pizza and artisanal bread. While working with Hayden Flour Mills I was additionally contracted by Mary Claire magazine and Bite magazine to create original imagery of Hayden Flour Mills for their publications as well.
